Reply to "What age should kids start playing travel ball?"

My son, now almost 14, started playing with a local 11u travel team Fall of 2009. Open bases, 70' diamond, much better instruction, peers, and competition. It was great and he loved it.

But come Spring he was back playing LL. Fall was for travel ball. Now he plays travel ball year-round.

So, in my experience and opinion, there is no reason to play travel ball until the kids are ready to play on the hybrid (70') fields. And that pretty much means 11u.
